World Fuel Services Network Experiences Promising Growth

To date, over 125 fixed base operators (FBOs) worldwide have been branded with the Ascent global fuel brand. The explosive growth of the new fuel brand is attributed to combination of organic growth and the positive response from other brand conversions. Some of the organic growth encompasses both domestic and international growth including the launch of Ecuacentair, a new FBO in Quito, Ecuador. The World Fuel Services Network served by the Phillips 66® Aviation fuel brand has seen significant growth and now stands at over 600 locations.

As part of the World Fuel Services Network, these newly-branded FBOs can take full advantage of the unparalleled depth of programs offered to them to meet the demanding and ever-changing needs to stay competitive in the business & general aviation arena. “Our team of professionals holds an in-depth level of previous FBO business experience. This allows for us to better deliver the products and programs that improve the lives and success of FBO owners and managers because we are familiar with the operational challenges of these businesses and we want to partner closely with them to find the best solutions” said Michael Clementi, President of World Fuel Services’ Aviation Segment.

The Ascent global fuel brand serves the World Fuel Services Network as one of its branded fuel offerings. Member FBOs are provided a host of incredibly valuable sales & marketing branded programs and options which include cooperative advertising, the FlyBuys Rewards Program, credit card processing featuring the most recognized aviation retail payment card – AVCARD®, the world’s leading global contract fuel program – Alliance, and the Air Elite Diamond Service designation for FBOs that meet the criteria for inclusion in this select group.
